A new beginning

In 1870, the Cornell Watch Company of Chicago set out to produce America's most precise railroad pocket watch. Today, the legacy continues with the introduction of the 1870 model line.

For over two years, the 1870 model line was designed, prototyped and developed in partnership with America's Premier Watchmaker, the RGM Watch Company. Each 1870 timepiece is hand assembled, rigorously tested and warrantied by the RGM Watch Company.
